Biography:
23-year-old, Philly-bred singer-songwriter Jesse Ruben freely confides that he’s done a bit of “obsessing” over his second album, The Ones That Matter.
Not that such anxiety is evident on the highly accomplished disc, the follow-up to Ruben’s self-released 2008 debut, Aiming for Honesty. Adding full-band accompaniment to his lush, soulful pop-rock, Ruben also stretches impressively as a writer on The Ones That Matter, achieving a near-novelistic sense of character and setting on finely hewn tracks like “A Lack of Armor

CAPO 1
(C)
A lot of people doubted me, they laughed in my face
(Am)
Said there ain't no way I would finish that race
(F) (C) (G)
But I kept my head down and laced up my shoes
(C)
I ran a marathon when no one thought I could
(Am)
I didn't always want to but I said that I would
(F) (C) (G)
And I learned a lot about what I can do
(F) (C) (G)
It doesn't matter if they don't believe
(F) (C) (G)
It doesn't matter if they do not understand
(F) (C) (G) (F) (G) (C)
Because every dream I'm trying to achieve, I can, I can, I can (x2)
So make a list and do not make it brief
Write down every single wish and every little thing
That you want, don't sell yourself short
Don't ever hesitate if people turn you down
Do not settle, do not wait, don’t ever turn around
Because you're almost there, I swear, I swear it's yours
And all that matters is there's no regrets
It doesn’t matter if they do not understand
Because everything you want you haven’t gotten yet, you can, you can, you can (x2)
Right now on this planet there are things that we can fix
There are people going hungry, a lot of them are kids
And it's so unfair, they're scared and all alone
Wars are being fought over land and over God
And we need a different plan, ‘cause I think that we forgot
That we're all the same, we're just love and blood and bones
It doesn't matter if they think we're wrong
It doesn't matter if they do not understand
Because every obstacle we need to overcome, we can, we can, we can
